Naughty!

In 2022, Freddie horrified fans when he sustained serious injuries, including broken ribs, after a crash while filming Top Gear

Some footage of the aftermath was featured in his reality series Freddie Flintoff’s Field of Dreams, where he returned to his hometown of Preston to form a cricket team with local teens. The show’s second season premiered in August 2024.

Most recently, Freddie announced a Disney+ Original documentary that will reflect on his sporting career and how his life has changed since that fateful day on the test track in Dunsfold Aerodrome.

Fans shocked to learn Love Island contestant Eilisha is related to Miley Cyrus

In a twist precisely no one saw coming, fans are currently in shock over the news that former Love Island Australia 2024 contestant Eilisha Purcell has rather famous family members.

As reported by The Daily Mail, Eilisha is actually the niece (through marriage) of Tish Cyrus. Yes, Miley Cyrus‘ mother.

Fans recently spotted on Eilisha’s Instagram account that she had been a guest at Tish Cyrus’ wedding to Australian actor Dominic Purcell.

As it turns out, Eilisha is Dominic’s niece, and his marriage to Tish now makes them aunt and niece. By extension, that would mean Eilisha and Miley are now step-cousins as well.

“Throwback to an amazing wedding celebrating love,” Eilisha wrote on her Instagram post featuring photos from the August 2023 celebrity wedding, held at Miley’s Malibu home.

In the snaps, we see Eilisha posing with Miley, Dominic, Tish and other guests of the wedding.

Tish even commented on the post, writing, “My mermaid nieces.”

Eilisha was a bridesmaid at the wedding, suggesting she shares a pretty close relationship with the bride and groom, too!

What was Eilisha’s experience on Love Island Australia?

For those who are unfamiliar, Eilisha, 25, appeared on the 2024 season of Love Island Australia and was briefly partnered up with Taylor Reid.

She was eventually dumped from the villa, however, after Taylor decided to Couple Up with Em Miguel Leigh instead.

Some folks believe we’ll get another glimpse of Eilisha during the infamous Movie Night episode, so keep an eye out!

Where is Australian Survivor 2025: Brains vs Brawn II filmed?

Australian Survivor is known for its picturesque, remote locations — but where exactly is the 2025 season filmed?

Australian Survivor doesn’t have just one home. Over the years, it’s been filmed on the idyllic beaches of Fiji, the blindingly blue shores of Vanuatu, and even in the Australian country town of Cloncurry.

The cast of Australian Survivor 2025: Brains vs Brawn II jetted off to Samoa to film the upcoming season.

Australian Survivor host Jonathan LaPaglia confirmed that the 2025 instalment was filmed in the oceanic country when he shared a photo of himself standing next to a Samoan number plate.

“Well that’s a wrap! 2 more (cracking’) seasons of #SurvivorAU snuffed. All I gotta do now is get my full license,” he captioned the pic posted in October.

Jonathan’s post confirmed that both Australian Survivor 2025 seasons — Brains v Brawn and Australia v The World were filmed in Samoa.

But, where exactly in Samoa was Australian Survivor 2025 filmed?

Samoa consists of two islands, and it takes about four hours to drive around the main island, Upolu. So, while Samoa isn’t exactly big — there are plenty of places where the series could be filmed.

Unfortunately for us, there are no specific details about where the 2025 season was filmed just yet. However, below are some of the most memorable locations that featured on Australian Survivor 2024.

To Sua Ocean Trench

To Sua Ocean Trench is located on Upolu and is dubbed by travellers as one of the top swimming holes in the world.

A quick Instagram location search spawns hundreds of thousands of results, and it’s understandably one of Samoa’s most popular locations.

Some of the Australian Survivor 2024 cast got the chance to visit the famous swimming hole as part of a reward challenge.

Matareva Beach

The Rebels vs Titans crew built their camps on Matareva Beach in Upolu. The 2024 series was filmed right outside of the conservation area on the famous beach.

The popular white sand beach is lined with palms and black rocks, and it’s a popular snorkelling destination. The beach has recently been recognised as a Marine Conservation Area, and an initiative is underway to develop coral and replant it in the area to help marine life thrive.

Sheraton Beach Resort Mulifanua

Ever wondered what the Australian Survivor crew do when they’re not filming our latest batch of castaways? Well, some of them are staying at Sheraton Beach Resort Mulifanua.

The hotel housed many of the Australian Survivor 2024 camera people and producers. However, not all of the crew are flown in.

Last year, the show employed around 300 people per week and, overall, had more than 500 Samoans on its payroll, according to Samoa Tourism.

Oh, the things we’d do to see Jonathan’s digs!

Australian Survivor 2025 will air on Channel 10 and 10Play.

Love Island Australia 2024: Fans think they know who will be “exposed” during Movie Night

Well, kids. Grab the popcorn because Movie Night is on its way, and our Love Island Australia 2024 singles don’t know what’s about to hit them.

Nine has dropped the list of movie titles coming to the big screen for Love Island Australia‘s Movie Night, and fans have some predictions about what they’ll cover.

What is Love Island’s Movie Night?

If you’re new to the concept of Love Island Australia‘s Movie Night, allow us to help. Essentially, it’s a night where the contestants cosy up to watch a series of short movies consisting of hidden moments they didn’t expect to be shared.

In short: it usually highlights the nasty things Islanders have been saying behind one another’s backs.

What is being shown during Movie Night 2024?

List of the Love Island Australia movie night titles

We don’t know exactly what’s coming our way just yet, but here are the movie titles Channel Nine has shared.

Love Island Australia Movie Night titles

  • The Long Kiss Goodnight
  • Illegally Blonde
  • Groundhog Tay
  • Saving Private Dylan
  • Mean Girls
  • Bad Boys
  • Get Her To The Greek

Those titles don’t give away all that much, but Love Island Australia fans still have some theories running for Movie Night.

Fan predictions for Love Island Australia’s 2024 Movie Night

The Long Kiss Goodnight will feature Sophie and Zane

One Redditor shared they think movie one will be about Sophie Mills and Zane Prophet in Hotel Amor.

“The long kiss goodnight is totally Sophie and Whats his face’s ‘just a kiss goodnight’ at the hotel,” they wrote.

Over on Facebook, fans are feeling much the same.

“Dylan is about to see how he got played by Sophie,” one user wrote.

In case you’re a little behind, this references the steamy weekend Zane and Sophie spent together when they were paired together for Hotel Amor… Dylan Towolawi (who is coupled with Sophie) behaved himself while in Hotel Amor with Mimi Paranihi.

Taylor’s repetitive approach with the girls will be exposed

Another fan shared, “My best guess is ‘Groundhog Tay’ Is gonna be Taylor [Reid] saying the same exact things to multiple girls hahaha.”

This was echoed by a Redditor who replied, “God, I hope so.”

‘Mean Girl’ behaviour will be called out — but we’re not sure whose

The movie title that has the most interest, it seems, is Mean Girls.

Some fans believe this movie will bring a little justice to the Islanders who have treated others poorly, while others worry it’ll affect their favourites. There is a fair amount of discussion online at the moment, with fans debating which Islanders will pop up, but the most popular names are Hannah Steinfeld, Kaylah Holmes, Em Miguel-Leigh and Mimi.

“I hope the “mean girls” is a throwback to Hannah and Eilisha [Purcell] at the beginning. We haven’t forgetten (sic),” shared one fan.

“I hope mean girls isn’t Em and Mimi I will crash out,” said another.

“I hope it’s the clip of Hannah, Kaylah and Krissy at the teepee hating on Em hanging out with Taylor in the pool. I want so badly for Hannah’s behavior to be exposed,” wrote a third Redditor.

“Get Mean Girl Hannah OUT,” said another.

“This is when the truth shines, and people’s real character comes out,” said a final fan – summarising the whole experience in one.

The only promo we have for this episode of the show highlights the Islanders getting riled up over the contents shown on Love Island Australia’s movie night, but we don’t have any clear hints about what’s coming just yet.

We’ll just have to wait and see, I guess! What do you think is headed to the big screen?

Home and Away fans spot major clue about the 2025 season

Fans of Home and Away have uncovered a potential spoiler in photos from scenes being filmed for 2025. The images appear to hint at the resolution of the nail-biting cliffhanger (involving Cash and Tim) from the November 2024 Home and Away finale.

What happened in the Home and Away 2024 finale?

The cliffhanger focused on Cash Newman (Nicholas Cartwright), Eden Fowler (Stephanie Panazzo), Tim Russell (George Pullar), and Nerida (Ellie Gall).

Police officer Cash and Eden were once a couple. Their relationship ended when Cash, convinced he was destined to lose the people he loved, pushed her away. Eden moved on with Tim, a therapist targeted by his obsessive former client, Nerida.

Nerida’s fixation turned dangerous, expanding to focus in on Eden as well. In the Home and Away finale, Cash was seen following Eden and Tim to warn them of trouble coming. The episode ended pretty damn dramatically, with Tim lying motionless on the ground and Cash kneeling beside him, his hands bloodied.

Fan theories surrounding Tim’s fate

The finale sparked heated discussions among Home and Away fans. On social media, viewers speculated about the events leading to Tim’s possible death:

  • “After watching this scene again, I think Nerida was involved in knocking out Tim & frames Cash for the incident,” one fan suggested.
  • “Regardless of how Tim died (assuming that he did), Cash is 100% responsible,” argued another.
  • “Cash did not kill Tim. I reckon it is Nerida. Cannot wait for 13.1.25,” a third chimed in.

Most Home and Away theories centre on Nerida’s likely involvement and the possibility of Cash being framed for a crime he didn’t commit.

What fans spotted in Home and Away filming photos

Home and Away filming pics may provide a Cash and Tim spoiler

As was reported by Yahoo Lifestyle, recent photos from the Home and Away set may provide a major hint about Cash’s storyline in 2025. The images show Cash Newman back in uniform, carrying out his duties as a police officer.

This detail suggests that Cash may not be held responsible for Tim’s fate—or that any accusations against him are resolved quickly.

Home and Away airs on Channel 7 and 7Plus.

Love Island Australia 2024: Meet hunky Irishman and “CLB” Dylan Towolawi

Dylan Towolawi entered the Love Island Australia 2024 villa on day one, and it didn’t take long for him to turn heads with his Irish charm, rugged good looks and, of course, that accent. 

Here’s everything you need to know about Dylan.

Where is Love Island Australia’s Dylan from?

Dylan is from a quaint rural town in Ireland, where he was raised by his Nigerian father and Irish mother. Described in his Love Island bio as “down-to-earth,” he’s apparently not the kind of guy who’ll shy away from a relationship. 

By day, Dylan works as a truck driver in the construction trade, but his true passion lies in fitness, and he has his sights set on becoming a personal trainer.

Dylan made the move to Sydney, Australia last year, drawn by the sun, and the chance of meeting someone special. His bio claims that if all goes well, he dreams of building a life here, with the right woman by his side.

What is Dylan looking for on Love Island?

It seems like Dylan is looking for the real deal.

“People look at me and think ‘fuckboy’ straight away,” he confessed during his intro. “But once they start talking to me, it’s lover-boy vibes, always.”

 A self-proclaimed “CLB” or “Certified Lover Boy,” Dylan insists his “fuckboy boots are hung up.”

Who’s Dylan coupled up with?

He’s currently coupled with Sophie Mills, but their relationship has been rocky ever since Sophie’s hookup with Zane Prophet at Hotel Amor.

While the pair has been working to mend fences, fans can’t stop speculating about Dylan’s potential with Kiwi stunner Mimi Paranihi.

The two were previously paired in the villa but couldn’t quite make things work, leading Mimi to turn her attention to Frenchman and serial Love Islander Steph Blackos instead. 

But with rumours swirling on Reddit about Dylan and Mimi reconnecting post-villa, could there be a second chance for these two? We know many fans would love to see it!

Who is Niko Fotopoulos? Meet Love Island Australia’s Greek god

Love Island Australia 2024‘s very own Greek god, Niko Fotopoulos, has certainly captured the attention of us mere mortals watching at home. Get to know him better with this guide to the Islander and his coupling journey ahead.

Who is Niko Fotopoulos?

Meet Niko Fotopoulos of Love Island Australia. Image: Nine

Niko is a 28-year-old builder who lives in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. Back home, he runs his own business and works incredibly hard at it – but family always remains a priority for this Love Island Australia single.

In a recent episode of Love Island, Niko revealed that he’s actually been on a TV show before.

“I actually drilled a screw through my hand when I was younger, and I was on a show called Saving Kids,” he said.

Niko explained that as a 12-year-old, he was building a compost bin out of timber and screwed into his own hand accidentally – which got him onto the show, seemingly.

A slightly different experience to Love Island, but hey – the stakes are high here too.

What is Niko looking for on Love Island Australia?

Niko has spoken before about having his heart broken by an ex who cheated on him. But he’s said that now he’s ready to look for the real thing again.

In an interview with Love Island Australia producers, Niko said he is “definitely picky, physically”. His ideal girl has to have “dark features, good body – she works out. But, she has to have good feet,” he said.

“I want a girl that’s exactly like me: hot.”

I’m heading in to the @LoveIslandAU Villa! ❤️ 🏝️ Stream the new season of #LoveIslandAU on @9now

♬ original sound – Niko

In the earlier stages of the Love Island experience, Niko was coupled up with Hannah Steinfeld. However, Hannah eventually shared with him that she’d become fond of Taylor Reid instead.

After the pair called time on their coupling, Niko was sent on a blind date with new Bombshell and fellow Greek hottie, Mia Dalkos.

Almost immediately, the pair became smitten with one another. The only barrier that seems to trouble Niko and Mia at the moment is that their families live in different states.

Mia is based in Adelaide and doesn’t see herself moving to Sydney long-term. We’ll have to wait and see whether they can make this romance work.

Where to find Niko on social media

If you’re keen to give Niko a follow on social media, you can find him on Instagram @nikofotop and on TikTok @nikofotop1.

Of course, with limited beds in the Love Island villa, new bombshells mean that eliminations have been happening aplenty.

If you’re struggling to keep up with every Islander that has entered the villa in 2024, don’t worry because we’ve popped together a list of all the OG’s, as well as the Bombshells, for you below. You’re welcome.

Read on to learn more about the Love Island Australia 2024 cast.

All the filming locations for Netflix’s Territory series

If you’re one of the many people who have tucked into Netflix’s Territory, you’ve probably been wondering where the popular series’ scenes were filmed.

With the beautiful landscapes and stunning aerial shots—plus new research from YouGov and Toyota Australia showing that nine out of 10 Australians want to disconnect and go back to their roots—you wouldn’t be the only one.

We’re craving more meaningful travel experiences right now, and this show is making us hungrier than ever for them! OK, no more teasing.

As you may have guessed by its predominately Australian cast — including Anna Torv (The Last Of Us), Clarence Ryan (Furiousa: A Mad Max Saga), Dan Wylie (Wolf Like Me) and Sam Corlett (Vikings: Valhalla) — Territory was filmed in Australia.

Keep reading to see Territory‘s filming locations.

Where was Territory filmed?

Territory‘s production was supported by Screen Territory and the South Australian Film Corporation so yep, you guessed it, filming locations include the Northern Territory and South Australia.

As to be expected from the landscapes you see on the production (did you know the show was previously called Desert King?), a lot of the filming locations were in highly remote areas.

Actor Robert Taylor (who plays Colin Lawson) even found a big snake under his bed and in the sink during production. Yep, he told Cowboys & Indians, “You should have seen the one under the bed, dude. It was that fat.”

South Australia filming locations

Mallala

According to Greater SA, The Adelaide Plains town of Mallala was also a Territory filming location, with actors and cameras seen descending on the farming community to shoot scenes. It has been widely reported that this is the biggest Netflix series to be filmed in South Australia, and post-production also took place in the Aussie state.

Northern Territory filming locations

Kakadu National Park

Many Top End scenes were filmed in Kakadu National Park, one of the largest National Parks in Australia. Kakadu National Park was the filming location for the “Sorry Place” — a sacred site to the Indigenous people in Territory — and featured in numerous aerial shots throughout the series.

To get there yourself, you’ll need to drive roughly 240km from Darwin airport, depending on which part of the park you want to get to.

I was recently invited on a trip to Kakadu, where I drove a Toyota LandCruiser Prado — the perfect ride for an outback adventure (what’s more Aussie than that?!). With Toyota and YouGov’s research saying 11 million Aussies haven’t even visited the NT, it would be rude to not offer a three-day road trip itinerary for inspo.

Tipperary Station

Tipperary Station was used as a Territory filming location
Marianne Station isn’t legit, but Tipperary is! Image: Tipperary Group.

While Marianne Station isn’t real, co-creator Ben Davies told if.com.au that they did in fact shoot at a cattle station in the Northern Territory.

According to AATKings, the cattle station filmed for Territory is Tipperary Station, a legitimate cattle station measuring 954,000 acres. Workers of Tipperary stations were even used as extras!

“We have just started shooting on a cattle station in the Northern Territory,” he told if.com.au back in September 2023.

“Of the 180 crew we have in the Territory, at least 140 are living on the station. It’s a monumental effort by production to pull this off in such a remote place.

“In terms of infrastructure and scale, this cattle property is unmatched anywhere else in the world, so fortunately, it can accommodate our large cast and crew.” 

Darwin

Crab Claw Island Resort birds eye shot

A bunch of Territory scenes were filmed in and around Darwin, including Lee Point, which is where the coastal scenes of Nolan Brannock’s Laggan Downs property were shot. It’s also where Sandra Kirby (Sara Wiseman) wants to build her port in Territory.

Crab Claw Island Resort is another filming location, spotted when Sandra offers Emily Lawson a tempting deal.

Litchfield National Park

Remember when Susie Lawson (Phillippa Northeast) and Lachie Kirby (Joe Klocek) have a swim after a big day at Marianne Station? That’s Litchfield National Park’s Wangi Falls.

Territory is one of the most exciting Australian productions to have hit Netflix, and we’re not the only ones who think so — the six-part series quickly shot to the Top 10 and has been comfortably sitting there since its release in October 2024.

It also hit #3 in the global Top 10 English TV Show list within a week of its release date. How good is it to see outback Australia on the world map?!

Watch the entire Territory series on Netflix.

Love Island Australia 2024: Meet Taylor Reid, the first (and most chaotic) bombshell

The first bombshell of Love Island Australia 2024, Taylor Reid, wasted no time turning heads (and ruffling feathers). The 28-year-old has quickly become one of the season’s most polarising contestants, with one Redditor even deeming him “public enemy #1.” 

But is Taylor the good guy he claims to be, or is there more to this story?

Here’s everything you need to know about him.

Kaylah Zane Hannah and Taylor Love Island Season 6 2024

What do we know about Taylor?

Love Island isn’t Taylor’s first rodeo on reality TV. If he looks familiar, that’s because he was on Nine’s adventure show The Summit last year.

When he’s not on camera, Taylor works as a stevedore in Melbourne. While he might work a tough-guy job, according to his bio, he’s actually a softie with a “heart of gold.”

Fans, however, aren’t entirely sold. With his penchant for drama, “gaslighting,” and an apparent talent for stirring the pot, Taylor has been labelled by some as the villa’s “puppeteer.” Yikes!

Taylor on The Summit. Image: Nine.

What is Taylor looking for on Love Island Australia 2024?

Coming off a breakup after filming The Summit, Taylor has said he’s ready to find his next love.

He didn’t waste any time turning up the heat as he entered the villa. “I know what I want, and if I see something I like, I’m going to go for it,” he stated.

And just to set the record straight, according to the wharfie: “I’m not a fuck boy. I’m not a player. I’m a man, and I’m going to show these other boys what a real man is.”

Who’s Taylor coupled up with on Love Island?

Taylor’s Love Island journey has been, well… a journey.

He first coupled up with Em Miguel-Leigh, quickly becoming a fan favorite duo. But their connection fizzled when Em called it quits, wary of the love triangle brewing with Hannah Steinfeld and Krissy Bertone.

Things took a turn when Taylor gave Mercedes Knox the green light to pursue Em, only for Mercedes and Em to lock lips just moments later. Ouch!

Next, Taylor set his sights on fellow Melbournian and nursing student Hannah. But just as sparks were beginning to fly, Hannah was dumped from the villa in a shock elimination.

Luckily for the two, Hannah returned to the villa, and Taylor wasted no time choosing her over his Hotel Amor flame Krissy. Now, the two seem closer than ever, but is this endgame? We’ll have to stay tuned.

Love Island Australia 2024: Everything to know about comeback queen Hannah Steinfeld

Hannah Steinfeld has dreamed of stepping into the Love Island Australia 2024 villa since she was 18. Now that her moment has arrived, the blonde beauty from Victoria has been at the heart of non-stop juicy drama as she chases her fairytale.

Here’s everything you need to know about Hannah.

Hannah and Taylor Love Island Australia Season 6 2024

What do we know about Hannah?

Hannah is a 24-year-old nursing student from Melbourne who moonlights as a part-time lash technician. Hannah was also a Miss World Australia finalist in 2020.

Per her Love Island intro in episode 1, she proudly calls herself “100% a princess.”

What is Hannah looking for on Love Island Australia 2024?

Since arriving in the villa on day one, Hannah has had one clear goal: finding love.

“I’ve literally been manifesting it. I’m actually going to find my boyfriend and potential future husband by the end of the year,” she stated in that first episode.

Who’s Hannah coupled up with on Love Island?

Hannah began her Love Island journey paired with Niko Fotopoulos. Her search for love hit a major snag in episode 17 when she was unexpectedly dumped after bombshell Mia Dalkos stole Niko, right as Hannah was building a connection with fellow Melbournian stevedore Taylor Reid.

But her time in the villa wasn’t over just yet. Hannah came back to the villa in episode 19, armed with a heartfelt speech about her feelings for Taylor, which fellow Islander Mimi wasn’t a fan of. In the end, Taylor chose her over Krissy Bertone during the recoupling ceremony.

Since then, Hannah and Taylor have been inseparable. She even described herself as “the definition of a simp at the moment” and confessed to fellow Islander Kaylah Holmes in episode 21, “I swear he’s my person.”

But will their romance be one for the books? Only time will tell.

Love Island Australia: What we know about Zane Prophet, the hot tradie in the villa

Zane Prophet entered the Love Island Australia 2024 villa on day one, and ever since, the 24-year-old tatted-up tradie has been causing a stir with both fans and Islanders.

Here’s everything you need to know about him.

Zane and Kaylah Love Island Season 6 2024

What do we know about Zane?

Hailing from the Gold Coast, Zane spent years as a professional rugby player before leaving the sport in 2022.

Since then, Zane has moved on to life as a tradie, training as a plumber and working in civil construction. He’s also got his eyes on his next move, studying to become a personal trainer.

What is Zane looking for on Love Island Australia 2024?

Zane has been single for seven years, but he says he’s ready to find the one. On day one, he shared, “I’ve been hurt in the past, but I’m ready for love now.”

However, his approach has raised a few eyebrows. 

Some fans and Islanders think Zane is still in his “playboy era,” especially after he was called out for not playing the Love Island game particularly well. 

Fellow Islander Steph Blackos even remarked in Episode 20, “He acts like a child. Like he doesn’t know what he wants [or] why he’s here.”

One Redditor speculated: “Either he’s emotionally unavailable or he’s the kind of guy that only likes women physically not emotionally and gets his emotional needs met from men”.

There’s still some time left in the villa. Could Zane prove the haters wrong?

Who’s Zane coupled up with on Love Island?

Zane and Kaylah Holmes looked solid for a while, but the situation took a turn when Zane hooked up with Sophie Mills during his stay at Hotel Amor. In the end, he told both women he wasn’t interested in taking things further.

Neighbours legend Ian Smith reveals devastating cancer diagnosis

Beloved Australian actor Ian Smith, who is best known for playing Harold Bishop on Neighbours, has revealed that he has cancer.

In an emotional interview with Channel 10, the 86-year-old announced he’s been diagnosed with a rare and “non-fixable” form of lung cancer, pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma.

During the interview, the Neighbours actor explained the diagnosis has led him to step away from acting, marking the end of his extraordinary career. 

“It isn’t just my last day in Neighbours; it’s my last day of work,” Ian told Channel 10 as the network joined the actor on his last day on Ramsay Street.

Ian Smith’s time on Neighbours

First appearing on Neighbours in 1987 as a love interest for character Madge Mitchell (Anne Charleston), the much-loved Harold Bishop went on to become one of the show’s most enduring characters. 

Ian had five stints on the program, including one for 12 years from 1996—one of the longest character runs in the show’s history. His most recent return came in May of this year, which was intended as a permanent comeback.

“I’ve had the most privileged life,” Ian continued. 

“And I know a lot of actors boo-hoo Soap, well, to tell you what. We didn’t just make Soap, we made the best bloody Soap there was to make. I have met the most beautiful people.”

Ian Smith’s last day on Neighbours

Ian’s last day on set was filled with touching moments, including a poignant reunion with Anne, who Channel 10 have confirmed will film goodbye scenes with him.

Ian described being deeply moved by the overwhelming response of his fellow castmates.

“It knocked me out a bit,” he said. “It made me stop, look at myself and say, ‘Okay, old cynical Smith,’ rethink your outlook on life.”

The actor who plays Harold on Neighbours revealed he has undergone three treatments for his cancer so far, including the “reasonably new” immunotherapy.

“I’ve really put my hand up, just to be a guinea pig. Plus the fact I don’t want to die,” he reflected.

“I want to stay alive with quality as long as I can. If they can do that [then] I’m very happy.”

Sending Ian all our love and best wishes

“Looks like trouble”: How fans are reacting to Chrishell Stause’s Neighbours debut

It’s been a long time coming, but we’ve finally seen the arrival of Chrishell Stause on the streets of Neighbours, and fans are frothing over the change.

Folks have been expecting the Selling Sunset star to arrive on the set of Neighbours for some time now, but now that she’s here, social media is lighting up.

Who is Chrishell playing in Neighbours?

Those who are familiar with Chrishell will know that she has a history of working on soap operas. Her acting career kicked off when she played Amanda Dillon on the ABC daytime soap opera All My Children and later on joined the cast of Days of Our Lives.

In more recent years, she joined Selling Sunset, which skyrocketed her popularity with fans.

Her fame in the Aussie market grew significantly when she began dating, and eventually married, Aussie star G Flip.

The actor is joining the cast of a revamped Neighbours as a businesswoman – Yasmine ‘Yaz’ Shields. Apparently, Yaz’s brother, Heath Royce (Ethan Panizza), was killed when pushed into a creek by Holly Hoyland (Lucinda Armstrong-Hall)… so we can expect some drama to follow this character’s arrival.

In a recent interview with The Project, Chrishell shared that her character has a “secret motive” – naturally.

How are fans reacting to Chrishell’s Neighbours debut?

Audiences are flocking to social media, commenting on a recent Facebook video shared by the soap opera about the new character’s arrival.

“Congratulations on the Neighours (sic) role,” shared one commenter.

“Definitely looks like trouble. Bring it on,” said another excited fan.

Over on Instagram, one fan shared they felt the scene was the “Best character intro ever! Chrishell is iconic.” This was followed by another audience member saying, “YAY! Excited for this!”

Neighbours: A New Chapter is available to watch now on 10Play or Paramount+.

Meet the new Love Island Australia 2024 Bombshell Jade Phalen

Jade Phalen is about to enter the Love Island Australia 2024 villa, and we can’t wait to see whose head she will turn.

The 21-year-old Bombshell from Brisbane is late for entry to the villa, but luckily for her, not everyone is currently coupled up.

Here’s everything we know about Love Island 2024’s Jade.

Jade Phalen’s Love Island promo shot. Image: Nine.

What does Love Island’s Jade do for work?

Jade works as a retail Store Manager in Queensland.

What is Jade looking for in the villa?

According to Jade’s Love Island bio, she’s never been in love and is hoping to find just that inside the villa. She’s made it clear that she’s looking for a man who can give her their undivided attention.

Love Island bombshell Jade Phalen.

Who could Jade Phalen couple up with?

As Love Island fans know, being a late addition to the villa often means that most of the Islanders are already in solid couples.

However, this year is a little different. While there currently aren’t any Islanders who are technically single, Zane Prophet broke things off with Kaylah Holmes — who he’s technically coupled up with — after he got back from Hotel Amor.

At Hotel Amor, Zane was partnered with Sophie Mills, who he’d been hooked up with before the show. During the challenge, Zane and Sophie made out and got “handsy”. And, Mimi Paranihi told Chattr in an interview that the new couples had a lot of time off camera during Hotel Amor.

The rest of the villa is partnered up. However, Taylor is in a new couple with Hannah. Will he stray for Jade? We can’t wait to find out.

Two more Bombshells have entered the Love Island 2024 villa

If there’s one thing that’s guaranteed on Love Island Australia 2024, it’s Bombshells.

Every season, Bombs are dropped into the villa in the form of hot, sexy singles who are looking for love — and who usually aren’t afraid to step on some toes on their quest to find it.

As always, Love Island Australia 2024 started off with five OG guys and five OG girls, but the first bombshell entered in the very first episode.

Throughout the season, we’ll update this page with every Bombshell who’s entered Love Island Australia 2024 so you can keep up.

Eric Garcia, Episode 20

Eric Garcia’s entrance into the villa was teased at the end of Episode 20. Eric loves working out and looking for someone with similar interests to him. Could Kaylah Holmes be the one?

Jade Phalen, Episode 20

During the episode’s promo on November 28, it was announced that Jade Phalen would join the Love Island Australia 2024 villa.

Jade will be entering alongside Eric and confidently stated that she doesn’t have a problem picking up men outside of the villa.

Mia Dalkos, Episode 15

Mia Dalkos, 23, is a fashion professional from Adelaide with a Greek background she describes herself in her intro video as “very loud and dramatic.” The Bombshell says her best features are her eyes and, of course, her booty.

She’s made it clear she’s not here to play and won’t hesitate to “step on any toes.”

This Greek Goddess says she’s looking for her “Greek God.” Could Niko be the one?

Mercedes Knox, Episode 12

Mercedes Knox was introduced to viewers during the preview for episode 12. It’s not his first time on reality TV; he actually won FBoy Island USA in 2022 as, yep, you guessed it, an FBoy.

Fortunately for his leading lady, Louise Barnard, Mercedes (apparently) repented from his FBoy ways and split the $100,000 prize money with her after his status was revealed. The couple split up shortly after filming the finale.

Krissy Bertone, Episode 10

Krissy Bertone was one of two Bombshells to enter the villa during episode 10, and she surprised the Islanders alongside Kaylah.

Krissy’s ex is former Big Brother house and TikTok star Jaycee Edwards. The swimwear designer actually applied for Love Island last year, and while shortlisted, she didn’t make it into the villa until 2024.

Follow Krissy on Instagram.

Kaylah Holmes, Episode 10

Kaylah Holmes entered the villa as a Bomb with Krissy. She works as a professional bikini bodybuilder and loves spending time in the gym.

According to her Love Island bio, she’s looking for love and ready for a serious relationship.

Love Island’s Tommy Armour was the third Bombshell to catapult into the villa, and he instantly caught Sydney’s attention.

Follow Tommy on Instagram.

Sophie Mills, Episode 4

Sophie Mills was the first female Bombshell on Love Island Australia 2024, and she entered during episode four.

She made quite the splash when she kissed all the male Islanders before whispering, “Remember me” to Zane. Turns out, Sophie and Zane had “relations” before heading to the villa.

During an interview with Chattr, Sophie revealed that she was heavily bullied in high school.

“I was bullied in high school. I actually didn’t even get to graduate because I was so badly bullied. I left after year 11,” she said.

“There were a lot of mean girls, jealousy, and things like that. I’ve built my way back up, being outside of school.”

Kaylah and Eric look very cosy in the Love Island promo. On top of that, when she was asked at a White Fox event how life was outside the villa, Kaylah revealed that she was dating the person that she met in the villa.

“I’m with my partner that I met in the villa still currently, so we are loved u,p and it’s such a vibe and we are here together tonight,” she said.
